Secondary IgA nephropathy.

Clinical, Histopathological and Immunofluorescent Findings of IgA Nephropathy

Background: IgA nephropathy, a prevalent disease in Asia, is considered the main cause of end stage renal disease among primary glomerular disease. Objective: To determine the frequency of different clinical, histopathological and immunofluorescent characteristics of IgA nephropathy. Methods: Renal biopsies of 376 patients were received for immunofluorescent and for histopathological studies. B...

Nonuremic calciphylaxis secondary to IgA nephropathy

Of the proposed causes and associations of nonuremic calciphylaxis, IgA is not included. We encountered a 60-year-old Hispanic female with stage III chronic kidney disease secondary to IgA nephropathy, who presented with a painful abdominal eschar. The diagnosis of nonuremic calciphylaxis was made, with IgA nephropathy being the most interesting potential cause. Our case represents the first re...

شیوع نفروپاتی IgA در بیماران مبتلا به گلومرولونفریت اولیه

During a 14-month period (Dec. 1990-Jan. 1992) , renal biopsies were performed on 105 patients with suspected glomerular disease. All specimens were processed for light microscopy (L.M) and immunoflourescence. Work-up revealed 21 patients to suffer a systemic glomerular disease and glomerular disease was found to be primery in 85 cases. Predominant IgG deposition was noted in 71 cases with prim...

Subretinal drusenoid deposits associated with complement-mediated IgA nephropathy.

Subretinal Drusenoid Deposits AssociatedWith Complement-Mediated IgANephropathy Complement-mediated IgA nephropathy is themost common causeofchronicglomerulonephritisworldwide.Thepathogenesis of renal damage is related to complement activation secondary to IgA immune complex deposition in the glomerulus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of IgA nephropathy associatedwithbilateral subre...
